Postmodernist Film
Greek director Angelopoulos made "Ulysses" in 1995 and used a film director to find a film The story of the film left over from the birth of cinema, looking back at the history of cinema and Greece. Some people regard Angelopoulos as the last modernist film master of the 20th century. In fact, it is very inaccurate. Angelopoulos’s films are difficult to summarize. Each of his films comes from the prototype of Greek mythology. With themes of drifting, searching, and the confrontation between personal will and destiny, he just kept "copying" the epic. There is a classic scene in "The Life Journey of Ulysses": Director A meets the mother he remembers from his childhood on the train, and his mother takes him home. He brings his body in the 1990s and joins the 1945, 1948, 1976... At the New Year's dance of ..., everyone is as young as memories, only he has the skin of aging. Angelopoulos used cinema to collage his own postmodern dreams.
British director Alan. "The Wall" directed by Parker took the world by storm as soon as it was released. The most important reason here is Pink. Pink Floyd, a British progressive rock band founded in 1966, has its own musical charm. However, "The Wall" is first and foremost a movie, a movie that visually accelerates the pace and brings the public to the MTV era. Now, MTV has become the most watched audio-visual art in the world, and even football cannot compare with it. Allen. Parker can be called the "Father of MTV". It is no exaggeration to say that there are fans of "The Wall" in art academies around the world. "The Wall" has become a milestone in postmodern cinema, and at the same time it has declared the fallacy that "postmodernity has no classics" to be self-defeating. Art lovers talk about it and love it as if it were not just a movie but a conceptual art exhibit. This film is a culmination of rock music, modern art and various forms of images. It is a film that is full of self-consciousness about postmodern images.
"A Clockwork Orange" is a movie that focuses on social reality. It exaggerates the adolescent restlessness of teenagers to the extreme, and presents the destructive picture that may occur at this stage of life in front of people at a glance. The intention of the film is very clear, which is to subvert traditional and orthodox moral norms and point to something more humane. "A Clockwork Orange" is based on the British writer Anthony. Adapted from Burgess' novel of the same name.
In Germany, "Run Lola Run" by young talented director Tang Tik in 1999 was a successful postmodernist film. The film's structure set up three endings for the story, which reflected the The director's efforts to break traditional narrative rules; in terms of audio-visual style, fast cuts, animation, rock music, dynamic characters, large tonal contrasts, etc. are integrated into a hodgepodge, fully demonstrating the characteristics of cut and paste. The Polish-French director Kieslowski's "Hit the Blind", the German "Run Lola Run" and the British "Sliding Doors" all set two or three endings for the film, all showing the impact of chance on individuals. decisive influence of fate.
Lola, a 20-year-old Berlin girl, and her boyfriend, also 20-year-old Manny, are in big trouble. Manny accidentally lost the money of a gangster boss, and it was 200,000 marks. In 20 minutes, the boss will come to ask for money. If he cannot get the money back, Manny will die. Manny called Laura for help! 20-year-old Laura only had 20 minutes. She didn't have time to think about it and ran away...
Twenty minutes later, Laura got the money! But Manny couldn't wait any longer and ran to the supermarket opposite to rob. He was shot in the chest by the police who arrived...
This is a film shot by the young German director Tom Tykwer. In the "Run Lola Run" storyline, poor Manny died horribly. Don't worry, it's not over yet!
Twenty minutes later, Laura arrived empty-handed, but Manny suffered an accident and died on the street...
Twenty minutes later, Laura arrived holding the 100,000 marks she had tried her best to get. When I arrived at the scene, I was surprised to see the underworld boss also arriving on time...
"Forrest Gump", starring Tom Hanks, won the 67th Best Film and Best Actor in 1995 Six laurels including leading role and best director.
The kindness and warmth shown in this film touch the best things in our hearts, showing honesty, trustworthiness, seriousness, bravery, love and other beautiful feelings
"Forrest Gump" is based on a normal man Forrest Gump, regarded as an "imbecile" by the world, is the protagonist, and runs through a rewritten humanistic history - it cleverly arranges and retells the major events and figures in modern American history, and uses a lot of irony and parody. , computer simulation, mixed genres, parody and "no narrative" and other deconstructive techniques, they make fun of all aspects of American politics, history, pop culture, brand fashion, advertising, etc. in modern times, and reinterpret history, wars and heroes. , provides the audience with a recreational pleasure principle, thus constructing the narrative mode and styling style of postmodern texts. It not only breaks the lies of humanistic history, but also reproduces a false fable story through the collage of lies. Of course, if you are familiar with American history from the early to mid-20th century, you will be able to better understand the black humor elements of the film, such as the music style of "Elvis Presley", "Ping Pong Diplomacy", "Watergate Incident", "Anti-Vietnam War Movement", many of the plots will definitely make everyone smile.
With the style of a sports film, bloody yet appropriate treatment, gripping storyline and powerful social warning, "Fight Club" is simply the "A Clockwork Orange" of the 1990s. In this era where only a few shocking films have been produced, "Fight Club" will certainly not be ignored. It's very impressive and makes people think deeply. What's different from 95% of horror movies nowadays is that it leaves the audience with a lot of questions to think about and debate. The thought-provoking, multi-layered story presented in "Fight Club" provided enough fodder for hundreds of reviews, features, and afterthoughts. The director of this film, David Fincher, already had three notable films before filming "Fight Club": "Alien 3", "Seven" and "Mind Game". Fincher set out to make Fight Club a visual masterpiece. Like the first three films, "Fight Club" also has a dark tone and fast pace. The audience does not have much time to think carefully when watching it. Some people call it "MTV style", but unlike other similar films, Fincher's In addition to preventing the audience from feeling bored, each quick camera switch also has its own unique effect. It is undeniable that "Fight Club" is indeed a violent movie. Some plots are so cruel that some viewers will turn away, such as a man pulling out his loose teeth from his mouth. Of course, all these bloody scenes are meant to reveal the main theme of the film: people are cruel by nature, and daily drudgery numbs people's hearts and triggers madness, with unpredictable consequences. The members of Fight Club are all victims of the loss of humanity and feeling caused by modern society. They have become cogs in the wheel, and the only way they can regain their sense of individuality is to return to their most primal, savage instincts of pain and violence.
Director: Danny. Boyle
"Trainspotting", also known as "Train", was shot in just 49 days and is a small-production film with a cost of 2.5 million US dollars. This film describes the trashy life of a group of drug-addicted youths in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its calm satirical tone, true narrative attitude, black sense of humor throughout, and modern audio-visual processing make it a classic among alternative films. The film describes in great detail the pleasure produced by taking heroin. At the same time, the depraved emotions and the values ??and self-awareness shown in the film aroused great concern and controversy in society. Therefore, the film became a hot topic in public opinion as soon as it was released. focus. That dazzling lens and Lou. Rhett, Iggy. Pop's rock music is like a psychedelic drug. We stared at the screen and were immersed in the scene. When Mark's needle penetrated the subcutaneous tissue, we thought that the white chemical substance was integrated into our own blood; A group of people ran wildly on the road after a robbery, and we felt that our hearts were beating violently. Almost every scene qualifies as an exquisite and unexpected condensed short film:
“Choose life, choose job, choose career, choose family. Choose a big fucking TV. Choose Washing machine, CD player, electric can opener. Choose a healthy, low-calorie, low-sugar. Choose a starting point, choose a friend, choose a fucking three-piece suit. Suits. …Choose DIY, and on a Sunday morning, you can’t figure out who the fuck you are.
Choose to watch boring shows on the sofa and stuff your mouth with junk food. Choosing to rot and have a selfish little devil created from your sperm to replace you can be said to be the most shameless thing. Choose your future, your life. But why should I do it? I choose not to live, I choose something else. What's the reason? No reason. As long as there is heroin, what else is needed? "
"The Killer Is Not So Cold" starring Jean and Reno depicts the love between an adult killer and an underage girl in a touching and touching way. Because most of the audience for the new movie are young people, who are not interested in the movie. His requirement is "a thrilling pleasure or harmless danger". The serious tragedies and heavy morals in traditional films are not presented in his works. Those characters do not carry heavy baggage or have lofty missions. They He exists for himself and pursues his own happiness. Luc Besson is known as one of the representatives of French neo-baroque films and a leading figure in post-modern films. Audiences who like to watch French movies talk about Besson's film "Metro". ", "Blue Sea", "Nikita", "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", "The Fifth Element", "Joan of Arc", etc. are all treasures
"Pulp Fiction" is written by. It consists of three stories: "Vincent and Martha's Wife", "The Gold Watch", and "Bonnie's Situation", as well as the beginning and end of the film.
Watch "Pulp Fiction". It's like watching a moving "pop art", a mixture of American gangster movies, horror movies, and romance movies, re-collaged in a parody form. In addition to the visual image platter, "Pulp Fiction" is praised as "Pulp Fiction". The narrative strategy of "circular structure" is also the collage product of multiple students. The whole film consists of a prologue (the robbery in the restaurant) and four chapters (named respectively "Joseph and Vincent", "Vincent and Martha"). "My Wife", "A Gold Watch", "Bonnie's Situation"). This completely breaks the linear narrative logic of traditional movies, connecting end to end, like a circle starting from a random point, and finally returning to the starting point. Violence is a recurring theme in Quentin's works. The frequent violent scenes in this film echo its "circular structure", clearly indicating that the occurrence of violent events is cyclical and never-ending, and violence here becomes a kind of survival. The method is a resistance to alienation, alienation, and obscurity. However, the director's attitude towards violence is never positive. Jus's washing hands in a golden basin and Vincent's desire for love may illustrate this point. They are all seeking helpless violence. There is no way out, although this way seems slim in the violence-ridden society of the United States. As a functional device of narrative: the great hero, the great adventure, the great voyage, the great goal are all lost, that is, in line with the interests. Horta's definition of postmodernity - distrust of meta-narrative. This post-modern characteristic of distrust of meta-narrative is reflected in the loss of heroes not only as killers, but also as assassins. Moreover, Martha failed as a gang leader (being raped by a sexual pervert), and Butch as a professional boxer (reminiscent of the heroic boxer Rocky played by Stallone) also failed (being raped by a sexual pervert). to the gangsters and fell into the hands of sexual perverts). This loss of heroes is embarrassingly funny, and at the same time it is the "postmodern condition" of our time - what the progressives of human history believe in and advocate. Enlightenment rationality encounters distrust, and moral judgments and value judgments are postponed indefinitely (the audience may be confused by Quentin's fancy innovations in film technology, but the excitement has obviously shifted from Kant's second critique to the third critique, and they are eager for strange And unexpected aesthetic salvation). Since all life problems cannot be solved and everything is not as the cultural elite said, people may have reason to be content with the superficial possession and consumption of phenomena (at the same time, isn’t this the anti-epic epic of our time?) So, The rest is popular and popular culture, as the title of this film suggests - "Pulp Fiction".

However, Giacomo secretly had a heated relationship with his brother-in-law.
Her husband’s classmate James. Spade came to visit with a video recorder, and actually made the two sisters talk about their secrets to the camera out of curiosity. Blockbuster new director Steven.

The famous British director Greenaway shot many experimental short films in his early days. Later, he made films for British TV Channel 4, which advertised an alternative style for a long time. Therefore, his films have always been known for their weird style and techniques. His painting experience as a student made his works pursue the sophistication and visual impact of the painting. These two points have been strengthened and integrated in the film "The Pillow Book".
All Greenaway's films have bizarre plots, and this film is no exception. The plot of Nozi writing thirteen chapters of "Pillow" on a human body and then handing it over to the publisher is really incredible. The publisher was actually willing to hand over his life after seeing the last chapter, "The Book of the Executioner." These extremely stylized plots and details are difficult to accept, but after Greenaway's more stylized picture performance, they reveal a charming beauty. However, after the short-term visual beauty faded, facing the empty screen, everything in the film was so confusing.
The most distinctive feature of the film’s shooting technique is the creative use of picture-in-picture techniques. These small pictures with changing shapes, positions, and sizes form a variety of visual and structural relationships with the entire large picture. Most of them are illustrations of small pictures that contrast with the calligraphy of the big picture. Many are pictures of memories, and some are similar to The film language function of superimposed pictures. The nesting and juxtaposition of multi-functional and multi-layered large and small pictures form a complex and changeable language style and picture expression. This is an experiment in film language carried out by Greenaway in the film.
The story of the film and what it represents are important elements that must be included in a film, but they are definitely not the only ones. The story of Greenaway's film has been relegated to a secondary position in the face of a large number of exquisite images full of oriental sentiments and experimental film language, and it only provides a suitable carrier for them. Among the many mainstream narrative films, Greenaway's "Pillow" allows us to see a wonderful and enlightening "alternative" film.
"The Forbidden Book on the Pillow" takes the diaries of two women who are separated in time but have a tacit connection in their hearts as the main narrative axis. It makes extensive use of new computer technology to "paint" the events that occurred in various eras and time and space. The "medium painting" format unfolds on the same film plane, excavating an unprecedented film grammar. Sometimes we obviously felt that we could use switching shots, but he replaced them with "picture-in-picture" forms. Parallel montage became "flat montage" in his films. Through "picture-in-picture", the positions of the viewer, the actors in the play, and the hidden film director are equal. The people and things the audience sees are not necessarily seen through the eyes of the director.

Cate Blanchett
Gael García BernalTwelve people, three The country, four different destinies, and an accidental event all originated from that unintentional gunshot... The intertwined web of fate includes souls from different races, regions, and cultural backgrounds. Everyone in the world is inextricably linked. In the 1960s, American social psychologist Milgram proposed the theory of "six degrees of separation." He believed that you could connect with any stranger through just six people. But the thread of this connection is so weak. Even if we are aware of the other party's existence, we still can't hear the other party's struggling cry. Even if we hear it, we still can't understand it and can't communicate meaningfully. At the end of the movie, a subtitle appeared: "To my children. The darkest night, the brightest light."
"Obviously, this is by no means a desperate movie, but a story of struggle in a desperate world, and regards children as the hope of the future. The bright world will be built by them, and the Tower of Babel will also be built by them. May There will be no more misunderstandings, gaps and sorrows in the future world.
Obviously, the film has a strong unique style of Alejandro González I?árritu, which may be difficult in the world. Find out which director can use the multi-thread cross-narrative technique so skillfully, and it seems to have the momentum to surpass the last Oscar for the best picture "Crash". Moreover, Alejandro's grasp of the story and the conflicts in the story are obvious. At the same time, this multi-clue narrative technique is no longer just a tool of expression in his hands, but a very insightful and profound expression outlet, which is the only way to show the theme of the story. I?árritu has said that weaving together story threads has become a habit in his work: “When I’m sitting in the car and I see someone passing by, I start to think that that person must be bigger than me. Everything that comes to mind must be interesting. So exploring the hearts of others is my greatest wish. At the same time, everything we have in reality is so limited. I hope to explore a broader external world, and how the unfamiliar external world affects me personally, etc., etc., these will become the goals to be explored in my works..."
Polish film master Ki A classic by Jeslovsky (1941-1996). The three films named after the three colors of the French flag represent three themes: fraternity, equality, and freedom. The director uses extremely delicate light, sound and sound effects. We analyze these three themes. "Red, White and Blue" are the last three works of Kishlovsky's life. "Blue" was about melancholy and freedom, and the master died of illness two years later. Only by faith can we gain the freedom of humanity and emotion; "White" is about dignity and equality, and the director explores and questions love and equality in the film; and "Red" is about sincerity and fraternity. The world is full of all kinds of suspicions and contradictions, and only Only fraternity can unlock the shackles of the soul. These three works are masterpieces full of humanitarian and humanistic thoughts. He tells the stories with detailed and precise plots and explains his view of life from the life destiny of ordinary people. In the film, regardless of the length of their appearance, Kieslowski gives the protagonist's position to women, perhaps because they are more vulnerable and can better embody melancholy, dignity and sincerity. In this movie, Kieslowski still carries forward his consistent purpose since "The Ten Commandments" and expresses his profound understanding of the living conditions of contemporary people with dramatic storylines that contain religious and philosophical spiritual connotations.
"Blue" won the Venice Golden Lion Award in 1993 and was nominated for 9 Caesar Awards;
"White" won the Best Director Award at the 1994 Berlin Film Festival;
< p>"Red" won the New York Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for best foreign language film, and was nominated for 7 Caesar Awards.In all three films, there are painful moral choices. In "Red", the old judge tells Valentine that there is a family in the neighborhood who seems to be happy, but the husband is cheating on his wife and daughter. So, should Valentine go and expose him immediately? Is it true but painful, or does it still allow them to hide under peace? In "Blue", Juliet's neighbor works as a stripper in a nightclub. She thinks she is happy doing this, and so are the men. But one day she discovers that she is. His father is sitting in the first row of the audience! In "White", the businessman Mikoola is successful but tired of life. He begs Karu to shoot him. In return, he will help Karu return to his country and have capital. Doing a small business. Apart from this, there seems to be no other way for Carew to help him return to the country. In the 1970s, Polish film art master K. Zanussi created the "moral anxiety film", Kieslowski's. The work pushes "moral anxiety" to a deeper level. Kieslowski believes that in liberal society, people's moral situation is more isolated because there is no national morality, national morality, or class. The moral responsibility and weakness of individuals, such as fictitious or compulsory national morality, are more fully revealed in liberal society. The so-called liberal ethics is first of all the fragility of individual moral responsibility. Realize.
In a liberal society, what is the moral status of individuals? Kieslowski still explores the ethical burden of free individuals in daily life through the moral dilemma of individuality. The ideology of liberal society is liberty, equality, and fraternity. The "Blue, White, and Red" trilogy explores the private meaning of these values. No value concept is abstract, and the big ideas in the social system are also reflected in specific individual private life events. The most appropriate way to know the taste of the great ethical idea of ??the system of life is to appreciate the tears in the eyes of individuals who live in this system of life.
"Here Comes the Rain" was a huge shock. Milcho Manchevski (Milcho Manchevski, the Macedonian director's debut (this is his first feature film), won the first prize in one fell swoop. It won more than 30 international awards including the 1994 Venice Film Festival Golden Lion, the 1995 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the 1996 Independent Freedom Award. This film is divided into three parts: an impossible love and a dilemma. The decision, a fratricidal massacre, connects the social background of the impending rainstorm in the former Yugoslavia with several stories. The irrational ethnic and religious vendetta ruthlessly breaks the love and family ties, which makes people feel very sad after watching it. In the film, the director hides his deep desire: love for mankind and love for his hometown
Part One: WORDS (words)-----Rural Macedonia
A young priest hid a runaway woman, and love grew. When they were about to go to London to find the photographer's uncle, the woman's family found her. The woman died from her brother's gun. Love flew by like a bird. There is nothing you can do!
Part 2: FACES (face)---The city of London
Anne is a beautiful woman, she has a husband who loves her, but she still has A lover who can’t let go. Alex is a photographer from Macedonia who came to London 16 years ago. In fact, we know very well that this Alex is the uncle who the young priest wants to defect to in the first part. There is a photo that tells us. My heart palpitated. The picture showed a Macedonian woman who was shot to death by her brother. The priest looked at her. The woman's husband knew very well about her cheating. Sadly, he died in a random shooting in the restaurant, and his face was blurred. .
Part Three: PICTURE (Picture)---Rural Macedonia
Alex returned to his hometown after 16 years of absence, and there were constant disputes here in order to take the girl away. After being shot by her friend, the girl was finally able to escape. The camera returns to the beginning of the first part, and we finally know the story clearly. The girl escaped to the priest's residence, although she could not escape the fate of death. The dry land finally ushered in heavy rain. It was pouring, and Alex’s body was lying in the rain.
The whole story became a bit reincarnated due to the disorder of the form, and was full of uncontrollable confusion. It turned out that everything was because of narrow nationalism. The relationship between people in the film is also subtle and intricate. There is no direct gunfire, but every shot is shocking. It turns out that racial strife is so cruel. The two stories reach the same goal by different paths. The background of the film is Macedonia and the Balkans, which are shrouded in the shadow of civil war. The three stories reveal the tragedy of war in the intertwining of characters, and the incomprehensible personal conflicts. Racism is the culprit of all this.
In 1994, the famous American director Oliver Stone adapted Quentin Tarantino's script "Natural Born Killers" onto the screen. The film quickly became highly controversial for its depiction of violence and satire of the American news media. Although it doesn't live up to Tarantino's original intentions, "Natural Born Killers" is a very good film. Oliver Stone greatly stimulated the audience through a variety of novel audiovisual languages ??such as MTV-style shooting and editing techniques, the comprehensive use of soap operas and cartoons, and a large amount of alternative music. This film re-examines the crazy criminal behavior and the equally crazy media behavior from a fresh perspective. The protagonists in the play are a couple who like blood and violence. Their greatest pleasure is killing people. Their actions caught the attention of a journalist, who reported them on his show. As a result, their popularity was quickly increased. Even after their arrest, reporters continued to report. All crimes seem to have a different look in the eyes of the media.
Should we feel sad about this?
The first part of "The Matrix" tells the story of birth. An ordinary cyberpunk released his soul under the care of his father's love and love, and became the savior to save mankind from the virtual world. The second part tells about life. The savior begins to doubt the value of his existence, explores the relationship between prophecy and choice, and whether people can control their own destiny. The third part tells the story of death and a new beginning. With the joint efforts of humans represented by the savior and machines represented by the prophet, they defeated the destruction of computer viruses and returned a yin and yang peace to humans and machines.
At the same time, this trilogy is also a great history of human thought, from a world in which good and evil are opposed to a ambiguous relationship between good and evil, until the opposition between good and evil completely disappears, and we move towards the world where we are one, I have the unity of you. This is the general trend of human development. The prophet's yin and yang pattern earrings illustrate this point.
The "Bullet Time" in The Matrix takes place in the virtual world of the matrix. In such a programmed world, anything can be changed, including nature that cannot be changed by humans in the real world. law. Therefore, whether it is Neo dodging bullets or the glass curtain wall exploding in waves, they are all the result of the temporary destruction or modification of the natural laws simulated by machines in the virtual world. It can be seen that the use of "bullet time" is not simply to show special effects, but is actually integrated with the overall structure of the film's story. Nowadays, "bullet time" has almost become a "visual abuse effect". No matter what movie, everyone wants to use it to show off, but in 1998 when the film was filmed, this was still a very original thing on the screen. The application of the "Bullet Time" special effect in "The Matrix" is to surround the subject with 120 Nikon cameras, and then let the shutters of these cameras start taking pictures in the order and time interval pre-programmed by the computer, and then take the pictures from all angles. All the obtained photos are scanned into the computer, and the computer virtually repairs the differences between the two adjacent photos. This way, the coherent and smooth movements of the subject under the 360-degree lens can be obtained. Finally, the computer combines the coherent The fusion of dynamic images and background creates the amazing and novel shots we see in movies. The "Matrix" trilogy begins with slavery and hatred. It first tells the history of Judaism and Christianity. It is the complete opposition between good and evil, and it is a life-and-death contest between God and Satan. The scene set in the movie is Greek, it is Plato's "Allegory of the Cave", telling how people define reality and how to discover reality. Neo became the savior because he relied on the most powerful power of love in Christianity. So at that moment, when Neo was resurrected with a kiss, he became the savior of Christianity. "Reloaded" is an existential story. This is an era when "God is dead" and Superman begins to doubt the meaning of existence. This is also the ambiguous stage of the opposition between good and evil. Just like Camus's literature, it is not the opposition between good and evil, but the opposition between light and darkness, and the boundaries are blurred. At the same time, the confusion that Neo faces is also Guo Jing's confusion. What can determine good and bad? If freedom is good, what about Smith's destructiveness? Existentialism believes that human freedom is the freedom of choice. It does not necessarily mean choosing to do something, but you can also choose to do nothing. Inaction is freer than doing something, because doing nothing will not offend others' actions. Therefore, Neo did not accept the prophet's candy in "The Final Battle" and made the opposite decision from the second episode.
The unique structure of the film "Memento" really makes people feel like they have lost their memory, and they have the mystery of their own identity, and who should they believe, and even themselves can't believe it. If you have watched another film "Party" by the director of this film, Christopher Nolan, then you will know that watching this director's film is not an easy task. He will make the audience watch in the process We can't help but imagine and guess the final outcome. The film adopts a flashback method, starting with a robbery case and ending with this case. We know what happened but don't know why it happened. All the answers lie in the intermittent actions of the protagonist. In flashbacks, every time we go back, we will find some new relevant clues or parties, which lead the audience and Leonardo to the end, which can also be said to be the original beginning.
There may be many wonderful so-called postmodern movies that I can’t remember right now. Maybe there are many that I haven’t seen, such as Kurosawa Akira’s “Rashomon” and Iwai Shunji’s “Love Letter”. Wait, take a look when you get a chance.
Perhaps postmodernist movies are movies that you can’t understand at first, but you may understand a little bit after watching them, but you still won’t understand everything no matter how you watch them, but they can always make you feel something. Of course, even if you don’t understand, don’t say it, just pretend to understand
